mod_http_oauth2: Always show early errors to user
Before having validated the client_id, communicating an error back to
the client via redirect would make this an open redirect, so we may just
as well skip past that logic, and especially the warning log message.

--- description: HTTP File Upload labels: 'Stage-Alpha' --- Introduction ============ This module implements [XEP-0363], versions 0.2 and 0.3, which let clients upload files over HTTP. Configuration ============= mod\_http\_upload relies on Prosodys HTTP server and mod\_http for serving HTTP requests. See [Prosodys HTTP server documentation][doc:http] for information about how to configure ports, HTTP Host names etc. The module can be added as a new Component definition: ``` {.lua} Component "upload.example.org" "http_upload" ``` It should **not** be added to modules_enabled. ## Discoverability Prosody makes subdomains of your VirtualHosts easily discoverable by clients. To make the component discoverable by other hosts where the component is **not a subdomain** of the VirtualHost, you can use [`disco_items`][doc:modules:mod_disco#configuration]. ``` {.lua} VirtualHost "foo.example.org" disco_items = { { "upload.example.com" }, } ``` ## Access You may want to give upload access to additional entities such as components by using the `http_upload_access` config option. ``` {.lua} http_upload_access = {"gateway.example.com"}; ``` Limits ------ ### Max size A maximum file size can be set by: ``` {.lua} http_upload_file_size_limit = 123 -- bytes ``` Default is 1MB (1024\*1024). This can not be set over the value of `http_max_content_size` (default 10M). Consider [mod_http_upload_external] instead of attempting to increase this limit. ### Max age Files can be set to be deleted after some time: ``` lua http_upload_expire_after = 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 -- a week in seconds ``` Expired files are deleted when a new upload slot is requested, A command exists to invoke expiry: ``` prosodyctl mod_http_upload expire [list of users or hosts] ``` ### User quota A total maximum size of all uploaded files per user can be set by: ``` lua http_upload_quota = 1234 -- bytes ``` A request for a slot that would take an user over quota is denied. Path ---- By default, uploaded files are put in a sub-directory of the default Prosody storage path (usually `/var/lib/prosody`). This can be changed: ``` {.lua} http_upload_path = "/path/to/uploaded/files" ``` Compatibility ============= Works with Prosody 0.11.x and later. In Prosody 0.12 and later, consider switching to [mod_http_file_share](https://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_http_file_share) which is distributed with Prosody. You can migrate existing files using [mod_migrate_http_upload](https://modules.prosody.im/mod_migrate_http_upload.html).
